Chapter Seventy Five

Stephen

We had everything set for the sting operation. The past week had been a whirlwind, but it was the kind of chaos that signaled the end was near.

It was now four o’clock on a Friday afternoon, and we had just over six hours until everything kicked off.

Dave, Mia, and Felicity had gone to pick up the kids. They were going to watch them while we carried out the operation.

Benji had suggested that Clint, Chad, and I would meet them, while Trinity would stay at Police HQ with Benji and Sergio for support. I didn’t want her out there tonight.

The moment Dave, Felicity, and Mia left with the kids, I grabbed Trinity’s hand and we dashed upstairs to our room. As soon as we were inside with the door closed, I kissed her again and she pushed me onto the bed.

She took off her top and ripped my shirt off. She kissed down my neck, over my chest and stomach as I unbuttoned my jeans. She pulled down my pants and boxers and grabbed my hard cock with one hand.

She stroked me a few times, teasing me with her hot breath. When she sensed I couldn’t take it anymore, she kissed the tip of me tenderly. She climbed on top of me and I quickly rolled her over until I was on top of her and we made love with our mouths.

She reached down and grabbed my throbbing cock, sliding it up and down her slit, lubricating me and pleasuring herself at the same time.

I soon took over, guiding my cock back to her entrance. She spread her legs and I gently pressed forward, letting just my head slip inside her.

She moaned with pleasure as she felt me begin to stretch her open. She spread her legs wider, encouraging me to push deeper. But I stayed still with just my head inside her.

She moaned, begging me to fuck her, but I stayed in place until she was almost crying with desire. I finally pressed a little deeper, releasing a low moan myself. She arched her back and my cock slid a little deeper into her.

I then pulled all the way out and she opened her eyes and stared straight into mine. I could see the pain, the desire in her eyes and guided my cock back into her.

I pressed deeper and deeper into her until I was completely buried in my wife. We moaned softly and savored the feeling of being connected with each other.

I began to pull out again and she looked so afraid that I would pull all the way out that she quickly wrapped her legs around me, forcing me back into her. I laughed softly, seeing my wife's desperation, and I finally gave in. I started out slow, with long deliberate strokes in and out.

I quickly developed a rhythm that kept us moaning with pleasure. Soon she was crying out as I felt her orgasm coming. She kept her legs wrapped around me, afraid that I might try to deprive her of an orgasm.

But I wasn’t that cruel. As I felt her getting tighter, I fucked her faster and harder, bringing her to the most intense orgasm she’s had in a while. She cried out as she climaxed and I just fucked her harder and faster. As she came down from her sexual high, she slowed me and pulled away so I popped out of her.

Before I could get inside her again, she had stood up and forced me down on the bed. She climbed on top of me and straddled me. She guided my cock back into her, and then slowly eased herself onto me. I moaned when I had finally buried my cock as deep in her as possible. I grabbed her hips and helped her ride my cock up and down, up and down. She placed her hands over mine and guided them up to her breasts.

I cupped her breasts and gently rubbed her nipples again as she rode my enormous cock. I could feel my climax building and I started to moan louder and louder as I got closer. When she cried out again in orgasm her pussy gripped my cock, I let loose, releasing all of my sweet cum into my wife. I could feel it as I pumped my cum into her and my cock throbbed inside of her.

She collapsed on top of me and I gripped her tightly pulling her into me brushing her hair from her forehead kissing it softly.

Trinity - Come home safely to me baby please.

Stephen - Always.

I lifted her head softly holding her cheeks in my hands as I brushed my thumbs over her lips.

Stephen - You are the best thing that ever happened to me, you are everything, don't ever forget that. I love you Trinity Joyce Gotti.

Trinity - Baby don't talk like that. I hate how it sounds like goodbye.

Stephen - There will never be goodbye for us baby. I will never leave you.

We kiss deeply and lay there holding each other for as long as we can before I have to get up and get ready.

I was getting ready for the biggest fight of my life.

I saw my wife watching me from our bed before she got up and got dressed herself so we could head to DA Carson's office to meet everyone pick up the load and head to meet them.

Once we arrived Trinity, Sergio and Benji stayed with us until it was time to leave. At the last minute Mia had raced here, the not knowing was worse than she thought and she realized she had made the wrong decision not coming originally.

I watched my best mate and his wife knowing how much we were asking of them tonight but in that moment realizing we are a family and this affected us all. We were in this together.

It was finally time for us to head out.

Chief - I already have tact unit positioned with listening devices so if you are checked for wires they won't find anything, we will also be near by filming. We have to go a little old school on this, we are dealing with Cops trained to identify these things so we can't risk anything going wrong.

Benji - As long as my clients come back safely and uninjured we are fine. If they are then you will have one hell of a fucking enemy in me to deal with.

It was finally time and I approached my wife.

Stephen - Hi.

Trinity - Hi.

Stephen - You're beautiful.

I see her eyes widen with recognition. Then I saw the tears in her eyes when she realizes we've had this conversation before.

Trinity - Kiss me Stephen.

I smile at her and feel a tear slide down my cheek.

My wife reaches out capturing it with her thumb.

Trinity - I want you to feel comfortable with me. I want you, I wanted you the moment I looked into your eyes at Gilhooleys, but I won't kiss you, not until I know you want me to. So if you feel this too, kiss me, please, show me you feel it too.

The moment she says it, showing me how our life started, I kissed her with everything I am.

Stephen - I'll see you soon little momma.

Trinity - See you daddy.

I approach Clint, who’s still with his wife, and give him a friendly pat on the shoulder. I wrap Mia in a big hug, reminding her of my love, while Clint and Trinity do the same. Then we head off to meet Chad and pick up the gear, leaving our wives to support each other.

Clint turns to me. “One more ride, brother.”

“One more, bro,” I reply.

We follow the agents down to where Benji and Sergio are waiting, ready to support our girls.

Once we’ve got the gear, we head to my car with Chad and drive to the docks.

When we arrive, we spot a black SUV waiting—no doubt a police vehicle.

“Check them, Grounds,” orders the detective.

Peters keeps his gun trained on us while Grounds pats us down and checks us over. He gives the detective a nod.

“Smart boys for once,” the detective comments.

“Where's Captain Grounds?” Clint asks. “I thought we made this clear—it’s all or none.”

“Oh, this applies to the Cap too,” the detective replies. “But don’t think for a second you’re worthy of his presence tonight. Now, where is it?”

“Here,” I say, tossing them the bag filled with coke worth three and a half million on the street.

“Check it,” the detective orders.

We wait while Grounds checks the bag, then nods to Peters.

“Now you leave my family the fuck alone,” I demand.

“Yes,” the detective agrees.

I start to turn around.

“For this month,” he adds.

“What did you say to me?” I ask, turning back.

“I’ll see you next month. Same again,” he says.

“That’s not how this works,” I tell him, giving him a deadly smile. “Don’t think for a second that just because I have a family now, my hand would quiver when I strangle the life out of you.”

“I would expect nothing less,” he replies. “After all, I wouldn’t be the first one of us you lot have killed.”

“Haha, that’s where you’re wrong,” Chad interjects. “He wasn’t the one who did it.”

Fuck, Chad! You just fucking implied one of us did.

“Thanks, Chad,” the detective says, smirking.

In that moment, Chad realizes what he’s done. As he looks up, Peters puts a bullet in his head.

“His services are no longer required,” the detective says. “He just confirmed what I needed to make sure I keep seeing you boys each month.”

As he turns to walk away, tactical forces close in on him and Grounds, surrounding them with guns raised.

“I guess not, asshole,” Clint says.

They quickly realize they have no choice but to surrender, and we smirk as they’re dragged away in cuffs.

We’re escorted back to the police station to see our wives and put this all behind us.

As we arrive back, we’re escorted through central booking. I thought it was weird when we went out the back on the way there, but I’d forgotten all about it when I saw my wife standing there.

Our wives rush to us, and I let myself completely go to her. For the first time in my life, I feel true happiness and love. This is my everything, right here in my arms.

“Hi,” Trinity says.

“Hi,” I reply.

We smile at each other lovingly as I pick her up so her face is level with mine, and she strokes the back of my neck with her nails.

“Sorry to break this all up, folks,” the Chief says, “but now that Mr. Ramirez is here, can I have your attention?”

We all turn to look at him as he nods to his officer.

“Stephen Luciano Gotti, Trinity Joyce Gotti, Clinton William Robinson, and Mia Ann Robinson, you are under arrest for the murder of Detective Daniel Rodriguez. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights I have just read you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

In that moment, we all look to Benji, who’s standing there, and we see the signal he’s giving us. We all answer in unison.

“No,” Clint says.

“No,” Trinity says.

“No,” I say.

“No,” Mia says.

“Explain, Chief. Now,” Benji demands.

“While we appreciate your assistance in this crime, you can’t surely think we can knowingly let a killer walk free?” the Chief asks.

I see Benji’s face twitch the moment he realizes the Chief decided to play him. One crime for another.

“Game on,” Benji says. “I am legal counsel for Stephen Luciano Gotti, Trinity Joyce Gotti, Clinton William Robinson, and Mia Ann Robinson, and my clients will not answer any questions until each of them have met with legal counsel.”

“Very well,” the Chief says.

We’re taken through booking, and after two long hours of processing, I’m taken to an interrogation room on my own. I assume the others are too. After what feels like hours, Benji comes in.

“Listen, that’s all. And I’m going to tell you the same thing I told the other three,” he says, giving me a look that tells me to listen carefully and think. He’s sending me a message.

I nod to confirm I understand.

“I’ve seen their brief,” he continues. “All it reads is from their investigation and the confirmation from Chad tonight that a murder took place. They’ve deduced that one of you four are the last to have seen him alive. Which four, they haven’t established, so they’ll question you all separately and at the same time to prevent coercion. Understood?”

“Understood,” I reply.

“Good luck,” he says. “Beat these fuckers tonight, then I’ll crush them in my playground.”

I smirk at him as he walks out.

They leave us waiting for ages, obviously trying to stress us out. I laugh to myself, knowing exactly what Clint would be doing right now. We’ve done this dance many times. That fucker will be taking a nap, I bet.

Finally, they come in. Lucky me, I drew Captain Grounds. But I can hear Benji lodge a protest before they shut the door.

“He’s one of the accused—he can’t interview,” Benji argues.

“That’s a wild allegation, Mr. Ramirez,” the Chief replies. “While you may have assisted in taking down two crooked cops tonight, our decorated Captain was at his office, keeping our city safe.”

He tries to stare me down, but I just smirk at him.

“Mr. Gotti, I’ve waited a long time for this,” Captain Grounds says.

[POV: Benji]

I’m standing outside, listening simultaneously to all four interrogations, hoping they understood what I was telling them.

“Who killed Detective Daniel Rodriguez?” asks Interrogator 1.

“Who killed Detective Daniel Rodriguez?” asks Captain Grounds.

“Who killed Detective Daniel Rodriguez?” asks the Chief.

“Who killed Detective Daniel Rodriguez?” asks Interrogator 2.

I unconsciously hold my breath, waiting and hoping. Then I hear the two words in perfect harmony from Stephen, Trinity, Clint, and Mia.

The two words I was praying they understood I was telling them to say. Set up doubt immediately for the jury, as this will go to trial and the police already showed their hand—they don’t know which of the four did it.

They all say at the same time, in unison...

“I DID!”
